" .-- the qualities of his great ano generous heart, his bountiful- "Yes." he mutters, "I knew him. He wes a clever hypocrite."


The sound weves from this mingle with those of the priest's hlessing. The of mourners retire, and soon there ere none left hut the workmen, who are lowering the coffin into the vault. The cords creak, the oaken coffin gives forth Bears the e hollow sound es it strikes the stone Bignature floor.


My lord Count de Verteuil is at home .- Adapted for the San Frencisco Argonaut from the French.


A GIRL'S MEANNESS.


"BETTER, I HOPE TO-DAY, MY DEAR." Jered at if the mourners sometimes for. get it. The disjointed bits of conver- sation would seem to imply as much. "Are you going to the seaside this month, my dear ?"


"No, not until August. We start to- morrow for our country place, and-" "Well, as I wes saying. the letter fell 1 into his hands, and that was the enuse of the duel. But it was only a scratch -- the merest scratch in the world. dined with him thet evening et the club, and he won twenty-five-" "Yes, I believe the meeting of stock- holders takes place to-morrow, all they want to make me a director. I don't know whether I'll accept or not. I'm very husy now, and-"


Serunch, scrunch! The carriages have quitted the road and are on the graveled welks of the cemetery. The talking ceases. The tomb of the Ver- teuils is et the extreme left-a mag. nificent' marble structure, where cerven angels in paroxysms of stony woe weep over the dead and gone Ver- teuils. The coffin is placed before it, and the funeral discourse begins.


The count is pictured as a man who, had he not heen cut off in his prime. would have regenerated the political condition of his country; a man re- nowned for his private virtues: a man who had encouraged agriculture and the erts; a man who had made e study of politicel economy end sociology; e man whose loss was irreparable.


Such is the crowd that it is difficult for those on the outskirts to catch ell the words. An elderly gentleman, with his hand to his eer, is listening, with pursed-up lips, to the eulogy. He


One night mademe the countess re- turns from a hell at two o'clock. She ie fatigued, is Mme. Methilde. As her maid disrobes her, she says:


"The count, madame, is somewhat unv ;}] this evening."


The countess yawns. "Ah," she murmurs. Then, es she extends her form beneath the luxurious coverlet: "Wake me at ten to-morrow, Julie. The modiste is comnig."


At breakfest the next morning the count does not appeer. Madame ie concerned. She sends to inquire efter his health. The count is desoleted; he presents his excuses to madame, hut he cennot quit his chamber. Madame is more concerned. She will herself see the count. She enters. She finds him in bed, extremely pale, but extremely trim. He is a perfect- ly respectable invalid. The room shows no vulgar signs of disorder- Do vials scattered sround, no furni- ure misplaced. Three physicians are whispering in a corner, and two well- trained domestics move noiselessly about the room. This is no common invalid-it is my lord the count of Vertenil who lies abed. This is not your low and plebeian "sickness"-it is illness, trim and proper, and cere- monious illness which is here. "You are unwell, I see, my dear." says the countess. "1 hore it is noth- ing dangerous?"


The count smiles feehly-a some- what strainril smile.


"Not at all." he answers, with :n effort. "All I need is rest and quiet. I nmi sorry to have put you to so much trouble."


The days pass. The chamber re- mning, as ever, we'll arranged. The sing und . shaven faces of the serv. not are expression less, Nothing is changed nothing save the master. And he ix much changed. For he lies al denth's door, and he knows it. Physicians shall no. dole out weak platitudes to Count de Verteuil. But sometimes, as he lies staring grindly at nothing, the count'e foer shows weariness.

A DECOROUS DEATH


By Emile Zola.


00000000000000000000000000


YOUNT DE VERTEUIL is 50 years of age. Blue blood runs in the count's veins. His family is one of the most ancient in France, Yellow gold lies in the count's coffers. llis for- tune is one of the largest in France. Honors are heaped upon the count's head. He is a member of the Acad- emy, a deputy, a patron of the arts.


Countess Mathilde de Verteuil is 36. Blond is Countess Mathilde-hlond and beautiful. Age does not wither her. Her rounded shoulders, her sat- iny skin, her golden hair, her starry eyes-all these make the matronly beauty of the countess the envy of younger rivels.


The Verteuil household is a thor- oughly respectable one. Dame Ru- mor's tongue never wags concerning it. Their marriage had been one of eminent good teste, said the world -hoth wealthy, both of good family. And then they had lived as husband and wife for nearly six yeers. And their two children -- Ferdinand, in the army, end Blanche-had been so well brought up. And they had merried Blanche very well. It is true they no longer affect the sentimental hus- hand and wife. But what of that? If eech hes a separate suite in the Verteuil ebode, do they not trent each other with the utmost courtesy ? They are perfect models of deportment, and nothing can he said against either.


The Sum of Ti. A sky that bends above you With bright starf shining true; A tender hears lo love you And who's as rich as you? -Atlanta Constitution.
